This is all just based on my personal experience talking to people.
I started asking about him because the pictures were everywhere. Maybe I was fooled but it sure seemed like they liked him and had good things to say. Not that they were fearfully trying to avoid speaking ill of the king.
Is there a law requiring them to hang his picture? I don't think I've been in a single thai owned business that didn't have him hanging on the wall.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoYou grow up in a nation where from childbirth you're taught its taboo to criticize the ruler - that's consistent with everybody having good things to say; everybody hanging the picture. It becomes second nature.
- kimsk112 10y agoThere is no such law requiring them to hang his picture. Many Thai restaurants in US also have his picture hanged.
- dhimes 10y agoI feel the same way and made the comment up-thread. I was only visiting for ten days though. Coming from the US it's hard to imagine any current ruler being as well liked as this guy.
